Features
Engine
Easy to maintain
Routine checks, such as engine oil level, are quickly accomplished from the ground level, and hydraulic fluid sight gauge and see-through coolant reservoir let you quickly check levels at a glance.
- Side-by-side cooling cores resist trash build-up, and an additional steel door provides improved access for efficient cleaning.
- Spin-on filters make fluid changes quick, and extended oil intervals let you work longer.
Durable structure and undercarriage
Unique steel cores within rubber tracks resist cracking, and large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers make for a rock-solid undercarriage.
Steel hydraulic lines are clamped securely, and wear resistant hoses are protected with Cordura® covering.
Heavy-duty X-frame provides a solid, stable platform that resists material buildup.
- Versatile rubber tracks minimize ground damage and allow machines to cross virtually any terrain, including paved surfaces.
- Standard backfill blade adds versatility, enabling these compacts to grade and backfill, as well as provides extra stability.
Comfortable cab
Go from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with just a twist of your wrist. Control-pattern selector valve is conveniently located in a compartment beneath the seat and includes a sight glass that displays the selected pattern.
Ergonomically correct short-throw pilot levers provide smooth, precise control with less effort.
The durable, redesigned cab meets the ISO standard for rollover protective structure (ROPS) certification. Operator station has a wide entryway, making entering and exiting the cab easier than ever.
- Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned where they’re easy to operate, yet allow plenty of foot room.
- Track speeds automatically slow to low whenever a heavier load is encountered and then return to high when the load normalizes. No pedal or operator activation is required for high-speed travel.
- Easy-to-read upgraded display shows operating information, engine hours and fuel level at a glance.
